BOULANGER'S FORTUNE.
Whnt Was Predicted by a Witch
of Palmistry.

The Figaro vouches pr the truth o
the following story of which, OF course
General Boulanger is the hero: Abou
eight or ten weeks before the fall o
the Goblet Cabinet, Nine. Revival, {
fortune-teller, was summoned to the
house of lady to exercise her art o.
palmistry. Among others, the Minis
ter of War asked her to tell his for
tune, and it is affirmed that, without
having any idea who he was, she ex-
amined his hand and declared that he
was soldier who had served his
country on the battlefield, and
would again be engaged in
war. General Boulanger pretended
that she was mistaken, whereupon
the fortune teller said: 81 am only
telling you what see in your hand. E"
She proceeded with her examination,
and added: "You are in an unhoped-
for situation, but you will not keep it.
A fall is awaiting you shortly, but do
not despair. Later on you will obtain
an even higher position. The lines OF
your hand indicate that you will al
most reach throne" A little later
Nine. Revival was told that it was
General Boulanger to whom she had
made the above predictions. "OhP'
she replied, Sin that case l am glad
did not tell him all. 1t is written in
his hand that he will die violent
death"
Very shortly after this the General
was at the house OF one of DIR. Char
cots friends, and. in the presence OF
that celebrated professor and some OF
his clinical lectures and experiments
the conversation naturally turned on
hypnotism, double vision, magnetism
and nervous pheno nena. DR.. Char
cot declared in decided Language that
he did not believe in the faculty of
subjects put into trance by magnet
ism to foretell the future. The consid-
erable development of magnetic elec-
tricity might certainly excite the fac
ulties and augment the intellectual
powers in the same way as it exagger-
ated the nervous sensations, but he
would not admit that those phenomena
went beyond the material world. A
young woman who was regarded as a
good subject was then put into a mag
netic sleep and questioned by General
Boulanger. Like the fortune-teller,
she predicted his approaching fall,
which was to be accompanied with
numerous popular movements without
bloodshed. She added: 81 foresee in
the near future great commotion and
upsetting of things. 1t is terrible.
The French and Germans cannot live
at peace. A war will break out between
them, but no one else will take part
in it. 1t will be before the 2Sth OF
March next year." These predictions
were made at the end of March last
year. She proceeded: "The war will
last more than eight months. There
will be terrible successes and reverses.
In the end the French, led by General
Boulanger, will definitely triumph.
But, whatever they do, they will not
be able'to go beyond the Rhine, where
peace will be signed. Then on the
other side of the Rhine I see revolu-
ton, shattered crowns and thrones
overthrown, and on this side the vic
torious General will be proclaimed
chief. He will be the highest of all. I"

Associated Press Dispatches TO the Herald. !
WASHINGTON, September 2S.-A re-
porter of the Associated Press called
upon Mr.. Justice Field to-day. "What
is the meaning" queried the reporter,
"of the dissenting opinion OF Judge
Hoffman, of California, in the railroad
commission case? ?" Il am surprised" !"
replied Justice Field. "Judge Hoff-
man and Judge Sabin, District Judges,
we're invited to sit on the bench
of the Circuit Court when the case
was argued, although they were
not legally members of the court.
When the decision was rendered
Judge Hoffman was not on the bench !,
and conld not according to the prac-
tice of the Federal courts, dissent after
ward. If he had desired to dissent, it
was his duty to dissent then. To offer
dissenting opinion months afterward
can have no legal significance, and is
only piece OF legal impertinence."

mated. There was no opposition.
The platform was adopted with
out one dissenting voice. 1t lauds
the protective tariff, and commends
a reduction of the internal revenue.
1t asks Congress to carefully consider
the tariff on sugar, and to improve the
administration of custom house laws.
1t condemns the suppression of the Re-
publican vote in the Southern States
and election frauds in Northern cities.
1t demands further extension of the
national civil laws. 1t arraigns Presi-
dent Cleveland for the array Of shame
full dismissals and disgraceful appoint
ments, and for indorsing the spoils
machine in Maryland and elsewhere.
1t declares the Democratic party in
Massachusetts stands with that party
throughout the the country in support
OF the doctrine "to the victors belong
the spoils." 1t demands the restora-
ton of compulsory coinage of silver.
1t asks for the passage Of national
bankrupt law, and protection to the
fishery interest without yielding of
rights. 1t demands the continued en-
actment of progressive temperance
measures, and favors the submission
